    I barely watched half hour and turned off.
    Yeah, I was barely attention after around the scene where he meets his dad. I even missed a chunk of the file while smoking a cig. Didn't even bother rewinding.

      He can still give a good performance like silver lining. And he was playing a legendary guy like Ray Arcel. Would think he'd put more than a ****ty effort into the role.

        He hasnt given a flying *** in decades, as soon as he said ' yeah ok' to rocky & bullwinkle he obviously had a yacht to pay for and didnt give a crap about movies anymore.

        I think Heat was the last good movie hes been in?

          Haha I agree with both you guys. De Niro has been living way too long off of his legendary status. Can't even consider him the same actor anymore. He was very good in "Silver Linings Playbook," which was, as far as I know, his last good performance; but "Heat" might've been his last good starring role. Everyone starts to suck once they sell out. Few actors do it like Daniel Day-Lewis, who has done very few roles, but delivers nothing short of top-quality.

            Yeah, he was a beast in Heat.

              It's pretty cheesy. The fight scenes looked okay but eh. I don't know. Didn't do much for me. Won't be watching it again. I thought Southpaw was better but as another poster stated, nothing beats the original Rocky.

                What was the last watchable movie De Niro was in?

                His acting career seems to be at about the same stage RJJ's boxing career is at.

                  hasnt had a great movie as the lead in like 20 years. Did some decent movies as support in silver linings playbook, stardust and some others.

                  But he is currently filming a new scorsese movie for netflix with pacino and pesci.

                    He's almost unwatchable at this point.

                      Another good one was "The Score" with DeNiro and Ed Norton.
